Title:

Marriage Feast at Cana - detail

Notes:

Oak woodcarving in the choirstall area of the Cathedral of Amiens, 1507-1522. This scene shows the miracle performed by Jesus at the wedding at Cana, when he turned water into wine. John Calvin was a child and youth at the time these beautiful choirstalls were carved, living in the town of Noyon, about 40 miles from Amiens. To read John Calvin's commentary on this passage, see: http://books.google.com/books?id=8dJN6sgvAeEC&lpg=PA45&dq=marriage%20cana%20water&pg=PA45#v=onepage&q=marriage%20cana%20water&f=false
